The race between Jill Stein and Roseanne Barr for the Green Party’s 2012 nomination is heating up as state Green Parties choose delegates for the convention in Baltimore, Md., July 12-15 (http://www.gpconvention2012.com). Links to video clips, interviews, and news on Dr. Stein and Ms. Barr, as well as several Green candidates for Congress are listed below.
The Green Party has posted a page online with a chart that displays delegate counts for state Green Parties that have participated in primary elections or held statewide conventions and caucuses (http://www.gp.org/committees/pcsc/2012/documents/Delegate-Tracking-2012.pdf).
As of April 2, Jill Stein was in the lead with at least 62.5 delegates, followed by Roseanne Barr with 8.5 and Kent Mesplay with 5.5. Delegate numbers related to results of the April 3 primaries are still being determined, but Dr. Stein has won in the District of Columbia. 201 delegates are necessary for the Green nomination.
